Bummer. Makes sense I guess… I wonder when someone will come up with an open source version?

Gary should have licensed or patented the software on his own! He could have had mac users, open source and windows!

It doesn’t run in my Netbook that lacks a graphics card. But the control (building block) for Silverlight (programming platform) will be available for the summer of 2010. I suspect THIS version will be Mac Compatible (Silverlight runs on the Macs). I am eagerly awaiting it, to program web sites with it.

Meanwhile, if You have downloaded Pivot on a capable machine, You can see the “collection” (set of data) I made just to get to know the process – it isn’t that hard – here:
Fire the Pivot application and in the address bar type:
http://www.guanacosonline.org/Pivots/SVHotels/collectionTripAdvisorHotels.cxml
The process to create these collections is just filling an Excel spreadsheet with a Macro (unless you want to delve into XML programming). It wasn’t that hard! Just do it!
